Design Notes

Because WML is new, not standardised, and developing, keep to simple, flexible design for now:

• small deck size, keep below 1397 bytes, for Nokia 7110.
• no pictures, avoid wbmp images that are essential to content, and use alt to <img>
• no wmls. if use, specify an alternative page
• no big words (max 14ch)
• short link names (max 14ch per line) (hard for people to type)
• short main page URL
• All elements must have a corresponding closing tag or be self closed.
• can use:
  • Timers
  • HTTP redirect codes
  • Links
• keep it simple
• keep it organised
